LDL (Bad Cholesterol) Guidelines. For people at high risk of heart disease, the optimal level is considered 69 mg/dL or lower. People at some risk, but not high risk, for heart disease should aim to have LDL (bad) cholesterol levels that are 99 mg/dL or lower.
Your goal -- the ideal cholesterol numbers -- are a bit of a moving target, but current medical guidelines call for total cholesterol of under 200. Good cholesterol (HDL) should be above 40 for men and above 50 for women. Bad cholesterol (LDL) needs to be as close to 70 as possible.
